Don't forget Batshuayi either. Haland is the superior talent of course, but let's give it some time before we anoint the kid. Koln and Ausburg are also bottom of the bin rubbish. It's impossible to deny his start has been very impressive no matter the circumstances, but it is important to stay...

He is in the top 0.1% for both speed and strength. Lad is physical specimen the likes of which have virtually never existed in football before. His dribbling is neither elegant, nor particularly intricate, but he is capable of simply bulldozing through defenders. For the longest time he had a...

This bloke still has not declared or committed himself to a NT yet. He is still a very flawed player in certain aspects, but would bring a level of speed and dynamism to the Spain squad that they've sorely been lacking. They could use him at Euros and should call him up this March.

This is the perfect size for a winger to be honest. Don't want to see him bulk up anymore as long as he's here.

Correct. The only 3 back systems still in use today in division one football are ones that have two FBs on either flank that drop back to form a line of 5 defenders during the defensive phase. Setien's version is naive a reckless to say the least. I understand the bloke wants to create...

This is how is always goes, aye? First at age 17-19 fans project a prospect they like to become a key first-team player. Then as some time passes and reality starts to strike at age 20-22 fans still hold out hope the prospect can be a decent squad player. Puig will probably go out on loan...

The new Samper. It should be obvious to most by this point he's not going to make it, but sadly there will be a large crowd holding out until he's 25 and complaining about coaching. You can make it in football without being physically gifted, but only to a certain extent. When you look like a...

I think he still has this idea we can have 90% possession, commit 7 players in attack and pass the ball into the net with combinations. This squad is mediocre for the top level and Setien will be out of a job come the summer if he doesn't become more pragmatic.

This formation will get us battered in big matches. The warning signs were there against Granada, but we were at home and they were too impotent to do anything. You need world class players that can cover ground very quickly to play like this. We don't have those sort of players. A PSG or...

Puig defending... :lol:

:rakitic:

Wouldn't bet on that, but it would be the stuff of nightmares if it somehow happened again. Forget the Euros, if he wins the CL with Juventus while being their best player he suddenly goes from a top 5 all-time player to having as good of an argument to be the GOAT as anyone. Winning the CL...

Really disappointed in your recent work mate. Subtlety is key and unfortunately you've gone off the rails the past few days. Relax, and be better next time.

:coffee:

Good goal, but bit sluggish. Hopefully he starts scoring more in the coming weeks. Having a geriatric 35 year old Cristiano out-scoring him this season would be tragic.

This forum is great. :rofl1: Oh, pipe down you petulant tossers. I might end up becoming one of Quique's biggest "apologists" by the season's end after taking a gander at some of the bed-wetting, hysterical children on here.

#SetienOut

Under Klopp's coaching in his prime he undoubtedly had it in him to become that sort of midfield workhorse. Don't let post 2017 Rakitic cloud your judgment. Players like Busi, Arthur etc. simply aren't capable of playing that way regardless of coaching.
